We're excited to announce the launch of MediaNama Charts, a data journalism initiative, in partnership with Visual Data India, a new venture co-founded by Karthik Sridhar.

We've been obsessively collecting data for the last two and a half years of our existence, and always wanted to more than just static charts, given that we operate in an interactive medium. We're really excited about the possibilities in data journalism: interactive visualizations can tell many stories with a single data set. Some inspiration has come by way of what Hans Rosling has showcased at TED conferences. Visual Data offers us the expertise of not just which tools to use, but more importantly, they "work" the data that we provide to them. We hope that through this partnership, we will be able to bring to you visualizations of data sets that you might like to come back to, repeatedly, to play with. To begin with, we've got three visualizations for you to try out: - Phonographic Performance Limited’s Revenue Visualized - IRCTC Payment Gateway Usage Visualized with Tableau - IRCTC Payment Gateway Usage Visualized with Many Eyes Do share with us and each other, some things that you learned found interesting while playing with that data. These are early days of a fresh initiative for us, so please do keep giving us feedback. By doing this, we're also trying to build a showcase of what media organizations and blogs can do…
